As local authorities undertake increased commercial activity and invest in property in order to become self-sufficient, naturally they take on greater responsibility and subsequently more risk. If such schemes are to be successful, it is vital that the key personnel involved are equipped with the necessary skills. Local councils need the skillset not only to invest and manage wisely, but to grow these initiatives to make a surplus to reinvest in their services and maintain the quality of the user experience. This course has been designed to support decision makers with making financial decisions regarding the development, pricing and costing of products and services.

"Great knowledge of the area backed up by experience" - Simon Cheyette, Lancaster City Council
